[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeardedchild:
Hey, so I got a new stereo recently, and a few days ago I plugged my phone in with an AUX cable and the phone rebooted (screen turned black, no buttons responded and the ATT boot logo showed up for a sec and then the phone was on, all in like 7 seconds).

Then today while at work I was gonna use my phone to listen to music with headphones. I plugged them in and nothing happened, but when I started playing music in poweramp (and also messing with equalizer to get better sound), it would reboot when I locked the screen. This happened twice.

I'm on Kenn's 4.5 beta still, and haven't experienced any reboots while owning the phone otherwise. I used to listen to music perfectly fine, so I wonder if it's related to maybe the 2.3.4. Or my screen off setcpu profile/undervolt settings might be screwing with it?

Hi

I do nont know but i have strange feeling that after 3.2 update my transformer drains more power. I mean the battery is draining faster than before the patch? Have you noticed similar thing? (i do not have the docking station)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manikin13:
I seem to be seeing that as well, and the wifi signal seems to be weaker. Not sure if I want to put in a problem report.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikey1602:
Wifi signal is weaker for me too, but the battery's been just fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caveman999:
I noticed also that the standby battery wasn't as good on 3.2 for me compared to 3.1. After messing around with the device for a while I found that even when the battery saving mode was checked, the keyboard wouldn't wake up the transformer but a touch of the trackpad did. I thought that there might be some background service that was stopping the transformer from going into deep sleep so I used advanced task killer to kill everything and the device would go into deep sleep. Also, I read on another forum that it might be a syncing service for picasa. I turned that off, killed everything using advanced task killer again and battery life now is equivalent to what I got in 3.1.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhamma110:
I feel my batterie last longer. But I have to measure it first.:)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
I've done some (informal) tests, and I'm getting about .5%/hour consumption on standby after 3.2, where I was getting about 2%/hour consumption on 3.1 and earlier. This is just the tablet, mind you.

So, 3.2 has significantly improved the situation for me. I haven't really measured in-use as closely, but it seems pretty much the same (which is about 10%/hour consumption if I'm really using it).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nullinvoid:

My Wifi is very good

The battery is good
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stcardinal:
My wifi has improved by a bar and the battery seems a little bit better. But that's only if I don't struggle with trying to get on wifi. :mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan stewart:
Maybe during use but if anything my standby time is longer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud1111:
Battery seems the same to me, as does wifi.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
That has been my experience also.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadesse:
After 3.2 mine seems to be draining the battery quicker with wifi on & surfing. I might get 4 hours of continuous surfing if that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chupig:
Me too, last night I have 95% of battery before switch off to the standby mode (screen off with the wifi sleep), but this morning TF has just 72%.

I am now testing it. I switch off the wifi function first, then switch off to the standby mode.

My friend also notices this problem after upgrade to 3.2...he said 52% to 17% just one night sleeping...wow...what a unbelivable report!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshuaRead:
Look at the battery use reports on your settings and see what is taking up a good chunk of your battery life besides screen and wi-fi and you may find a problem. For me, I saw that Google Maps took up 25% of my battery and I only used it for five minutes (it said that it was on for over two hours). I tried force closing and nothing worked until I uninstalled the updates for it and haven't turned it on. Now my battery life is much better. You may also want to check applications that are turning your wi-fi on to update themselves, like e-mail and facebook apps, etc.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumbleweed:
Check for Google latitude. It appears to keep GPS running even when TF turned off.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triumph_st:
I am on 3.2 since yesterday (Belgium) with B6 dock.

Fully loaded and half a day later in standby 63%.

On 3.1 this would have been 83%.

Battery drain is much greater on 3.2 on my TF!

(Damn, I hate the keyboard lagg whilst typing this)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkonex:
Mine has been better since the update and I have the ****ty B4O dock. I charged mine on Sunday then went on vacation with it Monday, on way home now and only charged it once on Thurs one the dock finally drained and the tab was down to 60%. Seems like they did something to help as that was unseen before, I had to charge it daily.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonzo888:
I also notice faster battery drain after the 3.2 update.

when I went to bed last night: Tablet 97%, Dock 72%.

This morning (about 9 hours): Tablet is the same, Dock 30%. WTH???:mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowjin:
I noticed it today. I leave my dock on the Transformer even when its off and folded. I used it a few times to in the span of 2 days tying into a journal. Today the dock was at 3% Screen at 98. Im guessing its feeding power to the screen. The only settings i have different is screen always on. I shut the screen down when im done using it, or set the Transformer aside or off.

Why not flash a new stock rom onto it? That way you start truly fresh. Do a search for Flashtool or something like that or you could root and flash a custom rom onto your phone, it's simple and you will benefit alot from it!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asjdwf:
Hello all,

I'm currently up for a new upgrade from my Iphone 3gs on AT&T and I have been doing some mucho reading on the Samsung Galaxy S2. I have even almost ordered one from newegg.com but did not when I learned that my carrier MIGHT have one out with the name of the Attain sometime in August.

Problem is I don't know if I'm better off getting an unlocked version of this masterpiece of a phone or waiting for the AT&T version. What should I do? I'm so confused I'm beating my head against the wall on this one.

Thank you so much.

AJ
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flowbax:
Thank you for getting rid of Iphone :D

That kind of questions you are the only one who can make the right decision. Don't depend too much on what others would buy.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asjdwf:
I would love to have the phone now but I read about how there are screen problems and how the U.S. Version will have a better audio chip. Is all of this true? I don't make much money and that's a lot of dough for a phone. Plus with Newegg there is no real warranty and I can't just take it into the store.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
Some things to think about:

- AT&T's version was first rumored to have a keyboard, then not, then it was said AT&T's going to get both. So god knows what they'll end up with. Regardless, it'll be molested, have AT&T demanded hardware and software changes and you'll be forever dependent on AT&T for updates.

- The international version is as Samsung intended and you'll receive updates (which have been frequent) from them. Also, you can use it on the unlimited data for Non-Smartphones plan and get fake-4G speeds for $10-15 a month.

- The AT&T version will support LTE making it faster as their network rolls out over the next 18 months. LTE is expensive, has no roaming capabilities, and sucks battery.

- The international version comes with a two year Samsung warranty if you buy it from an authorized reseller in the country of origin (EG: UK) or from Expansys-USA. Otherwise you're on your own. You can get a SquareTrade warranty for $94 for two years but that doesn't include loss or theft. If it breaks (in or out of warranty) you have to send it overseas to be repaired leaving you without it for two weeks. Obviously, AT&T's would be fully covered.

- If you want the international version you can do a couple of things. Instead of getting another subsidized phone, you can convert your contract to a SIM-only plan which means you can terminate at any time you want without penalty. You could also go subsidized again as some point in the future if you get bored with the SGS2, sell it on eBay, and get whatever premium phone AT&T's offering at the time.

- You could re-up your contract and get an iP4 or Infuse and sell it on eBay for between $400-500 and apply that to the price of an international SGS2. With the additional data for Non-Smartphone savings the international SGS2 would eventually pay for itself.

Good luck...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
The screen problems effect a minority of phones and the U.S. versions will use the same screens as Samsung manufactures all their own displays. I highly doubt they'd change the audio chip from one market to another on what's essentially the same phone. If you're concerned about price, go with what AT&T ends up offering. It'll be safer and you won't have to pay expensive shipping or for out of pocket repairs if you buy one without a warranty.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmj12us:
I am in the same position that you are. I am waiting to see what AT&T is going to do. I am getting real bored with the iphone 3gs. Hopefully they will come out with this phone this month.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asjdwf:
This is where I read about the audio chip.

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1069259.html

What is LTE? Is is faster than 3G? Do I need it? I thought the SGS2 was faster than my 3gs. If I get the unlocked version it won't be LTE? I'm confused. Sorry just so new to this smartphone stuff. I mean the REAL smartphone (NON APPLE) stuff.

Also, what is the time line for AT&T to release there phone? Anyone have an idea?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flowbax:
LTE= 4G?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3GPP_Long_Term_Evolution

Or something something...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
LTE, Long term evolution, the tech beyond "3G"

the SGS2 supports HSDPA and HSUPA, high speed Uplink/Downlink packet access, this is what most US carriers are calling "4G", when in fact its actually 3.5G.

In the SGS2 it can do upto 21mbps down and 6mbps up if the network supports it.

LTE uses even more battery than H does over 3G does over G.

In the long term, yeh, you want it, for the next 2-3 years, you should be fine with H/H+.

And goodness knows about the audio, my sgs2 sounds fine and I only got it a few weeks ago :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asjdwf:
You all know a lot about phones, lol. Is this phone coming out soon in the U.S. on AT&T? Like within the next few weeks? I don't know if I can wait. The 3GS is getting quite boring.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
That link for the audio chip is ancient. The Wolfson DAC was in the original SGS and people thought it would be in the SGS2 also. Especially with the statements made by Wolfson (which were later retracted). Anything's possible but there's nothing to indicate Samsung would change the audio hardware in the phone mid-stream. I use the SGS2 with Shure SE530's, via A2DP in my car, and through a Yamaha YSP4000 via Bluetooth. I think it sounds great - good separation, decent bass, not too bright. But, I'm no audiophile. Some that are were pissed when the Wolfson DAC was replaced by Yamaha. So depending on your ears/needs YMMV.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asjdwf:
Yeah I am not stressing too much over the audio to tell you the truth. I am just worrying about having to wait too long for it to be released.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asjdwf:
a bunch of good points have been made here. What kind of bloatware does AT&T put on these phones that would make buying it unlocked a better deal?

Also, I just read something about how all the other carriers are renaming their models....what gives?

[Motorola Photon 4G] horn34:
Has anyone with an Otterbox case tried it with the HD dock? The Sprint branded case doesn't work with the dock, hopefully Otterbox actually tested theirs with one before shipping.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flash_c4:
Which Sprint case? I've got the case with the holster and it works with the dock. I assume that you aren't trying to use a case with the dock insert in place. I did have one slight issue with this case though and I resolved that with a small diamond file. The hole in the case where the USB and HDMI connectors are located was slightly too small and kept the phone from fully seating on the connectors. I don't know if that was an issue with just the one I got or all of them.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
What do you mean the otterbox just came out? I ordered mine a week ago from otterbox.com and have it with my phone. Its been available in my Sprint corporate store since Monday.

Anyways the defender series does not work with the dock. I assume the same is true with the commuter series.

Hi,

I really like the Commuter because of the silicone layer that covers the ports and buttons. I seem to keep getting water damage on my tablets and smart phones even though I'm careful to keep them out of water. Maybe because I use them in the kitchen a lot (I'm always cooking and cleaning for my wife and kids).

But it looks like it doesn't come with a belt clip that I need. Is this true. I'm hesitant to buy the Defender becuase man that thing looks really bulky and I like a sleek feel.

I do spend a lot of time with the kids at the beach and in the mountains so the Defender might be the way. Or I've been having so much trouble with water damage I'm thinking of getting the Sprint $8/month warranty and then I could just get the Sprint belt clip and if the dishwasher steams it up or it's dropped in the sand I just skip happily down to the Sprint store and pick up my new one.

What do you think?

Marc
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bandage:
Well...good for you! No such luck here where I live. Had to order online. My Sprint Corp store isn't even sure when they'll get them in.
[Motorola Photon 4G] horn34:
Thanks for the replies. For some reason, I have to jiggle the phone with the case on to get the webtop option to appear for the dock. With the case off, the webtop option appears immediately when I drop the phone in. And yes, the plastic dock insert is out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flash_c4:
Take your phone out of the case and then take the case and put it in the dock. You will notice that the hole in the case where the USB and HDMI connectors are isn't the right size to fit down around the raised plastic. This is where I had to use a small file and enlarge the hole. If you didn't know i did it you wouldn't know and if I had to take the case back under warranty they wouldn't even notice. I had the same issue as you with it not seating right and now when I get in the car I can toss my phone up in the dock with out any effort and it works perfectly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] wireless.praying.mantis:
Which Sprint corporate retail store sold you the Otterbox Defender Series case for the Motorola Photon 4G? The reason I ask is I in one of their retail stores and we didn't receive them not do I see it for upcoming accessory launchs in one of our internal inventory systems.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
If it isn't a HTC or Apple product my store isn't getting any of these.

Whats the verdict I've never owned a otterbox only body glove.

Not sure if I should get the defender or commuter

Pros and cons for both besides size and price?
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
Unless you're planning on doing some crazy extreme sport with your phone, I would definitely advise the commuter. It's got great protection and if you ever have to do a battery pull, it's much less of a pain in the rear to remove.

Only thing that sucks is Otterbox doesn't make a holster for the commuter. No idea why they don't.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yogi3:

Dude I'm so mad right now my store never gets all the new **** unless its for HTC. I hope we get some in our shipment this week so I can get a discount :p

Yesterday I activated about 4 or 5 EVo's and the only cases we had were the otterboxes and our yellow livestrong cases. So I sold one dude a inspire case by accident. He didn't want to spend 5 or 6 dollars more for the commuter :confused: I got lucky about once for screen protectors on another customer.

One dude had no deposit 3 lines he didnt want to buy anything. Apparently yellow is gay and he didn't want to live strong.
